By way of background, the use of hair enhancement products such as wigs,hair extensions and other hair accessories is continually growing. Fordifferent occasions, people may desire to wear different wigs which areparticularly suited for specific events. Collections of various wigs areusually available at salons and haircare centers. When hair stylistshave to style hair at remote locations, apart and away from salons orhaircare centers, they are required to transport their hair-stylingtools, hair enhancement products such as wigs, wig heads and more to theremote location. Wig heads or mannequin heads are generally used by hairstylists and other retailers to showcase wigs to their customers. Thewig heads help customers to understand the look of a particular wig.Also, with a wig atop the wig head, the hair stylists can easily andquickly show different wig styles to their customers. Further, affixinga wig to a wig head provides a stable mount for a hair stylist toconveniently perform various grooming and styling activities to the wig.

However, carrying wigs, hair accessories, mannequin heads and more canbe extremely difficult for hair stylists or other individuals. In caseswhere hair stylists are unable to prepare wigs at remote locations,stylists may be required to prepare a wig at a salon and then deliverthe prepared wig remotely to a customer. Delivering of wigs to remotelocations requires that the wig(s) remains intact and free of unwantedcontact with the interior of a delivery case. Damaged and messy wigslead to disappointed customers. Further, preparation of wigs is atime-consuming process. Preparing wigs mounted atop mannequin heads cantake an undue amount of time, thereby forcing a customer to waitunnecessarily. Customers can get frustrated while waiting extendedperiods of time for preparation of a wig.

Hair stylists usually carry wigs, mannequin heads, and more inconventional carry bags or shoulder bags. However, all the items may notbe accommodated in conventional carry bags. Also, conventional carrybags are typically carried over one or both shoulders, which places aburden on the shoulders and back of hair stylists or other individuals.In cases where the carry bag is heavy, hair stylists may expend a greatdeal of energy while transporting the hair styling-related products fromone place to another.

Therefore, there exists a long felt need in the art for a device thatenables the safe storage and secure transport of hairstyling productssuch as wigs, mannequin heads, hair enhancement products and more. Thereis also a long felt need in the art for a luggage-carrying apparatusthat enables users to keep different items compartmentalized andseparate, while accommodating most of the relevant products required byhair stylists. Additionally, there is a long felt need in the art for acompartmentalized adjustable carrying case which enables users to easilystore and organize haircare-related accessories. Moreover, there is along felt need in the art for a case that enables users to safelytransport their hair enhancement products, such as wigs, without thefear of the wigs getting damaged or tousled. Further, there is a longfelt need in the art for a compartmentalized adjustable carrying casewhich can be easily carried and eliminates the need to carry a bag overone's shoulders, thereby preventing any undue exertion on hair stylists.Finally, there is a long felt need in the art for a case which allowshair stylists and other individuals to pre-style wigs, and then safelytransport the wigs to a customer's place, thereby saving time andincreasing the convenience to customers.

The subject matter disclosed and claimed herein, in one embodimentthereof, comprises a case for carrying a plurality of mannequin headsalong with wigs affixed thereto, and other related haircare supplies.The case comprises: a plurality of grooves; a plurality of inserts; theplurality of grooves or insert mounts are present along the innersurface of the case; each insert is mounted and supported by at leasttwo symmetrically aligned opposing grooves; the inserts createcompartments therebetween and provide spaces to accommodate and securemannequin heads; a cover or lid including a zipper along acircumferential edge; the cover can include a pocket on both an exteriorsurface and an interior surface; a plurality of adjustable straps ornets to secure the accommodated mannequin heads; and, the cover connectsto a perimeter of walls with a hinge and the zipper to form the case.The case can include a plurality of wheels to rotate the case 360degrees and to carry the case in at least two orientations. The case canalso include an extendable handle mounted on the top surface of the caseand/or a handle mounted on the side surface of the case.
